We arrived at Morehead City at 4:15pm. Our journey today took 9 1/2 hours to travel about 59 nautical miles.

We are now 209 nm from ICW mile “0”, which is in Norfolk VA.

Today was a pretty easy day with great weather & mostly sunny skies.

The waterways have widened out a lot (photo above) but the channels are still very narrow & the water is only a few feet deep after you leave the channel (photo below).

It’s not uncommon for us to see someone standing in the water only a hundred meters away from us & that person had to walk about 300-400 meters from the shore to get there.

The temperature & humidity have dropped so it is much more comfortable through the day while we are traveling & for sleeping in the night as well.

Ed & I celebrated our accomplishment today by going out for supper to a local seafood restaurant called “Sanitary Seafood” & then we stopped at the local ice cream shop for dessert.

Tomorrow we are hoping to get to Belhaven NC, which is about 61 nm from Morehead City.

Cheers!
